Fit to Ski?

We gain hugh benefits to our personal enjoyment and physical output if we choose to exercise, after all, "this is a choice right?"

Exercising actually puts you in a better mood. When you exercise, your brain releases various chemicals known as endorphins, these endorphins improve your sense of wellbeing.

It’s very simple..... “Are you fit to ski or snowboard”.

Get started, Get moving, Let’s go!

Cardiovascular / Aerobic

Try swimming, play basketball, ice or roller hockey, walk (quick), jog, sprint (up hill), inline skating, soccer, cross-country skiing, biking, rowing and skipping.

Strength

Use dumbells and do some arm curls, shoulder exercises, chest work, leg work, squats etc, join a gym, Let’s move!

Flexibility

Join a yoga or pilates class, powerful stuff. Do good quality stretching, always warm up before stretching.

Agility

Try using a skipping rope, run around cones, do some bounding work, plyometrics.

Feel the power of the endorphins!

This may all sound obvious but the reality is humans are becoming lazy and fat and unable to get the most out of their bodies.

Your mind is what you make it and feed it. By getting active you will in turn raise your arousal levels and optimise your performance output, who knows, you may even hit “Peak Performance”.

Watch out generation Y!

Always consult a fitness professional before undertaking exercise.
